Americans are Silly
I was in CVS today waiting for my drugs to be ready when I came across this contraption:

The Pet VAc. it’s not for vaccuuming up your pet’s hair (although you can do that as well). It’s for vaccuuming the loose hair OFF YOUR PET. Now, most dogs I know freak out at the sound of a vaccuum cleaner. Do you really think you’re going to get Rover to sit still long enough to be able to suck all his loose hairs off? I got a good chuckle out of that. It seems that everything interesting has already been invented, so now people are inventing silly things.
The pasta maker is another such machine:

It cooks pasta! … and nothing else! Because you know how hard it is to cook spaghetti…
In other news, Stella seems happy in her tank I finally got set up. She’s swimming around like a crack head now. One week in a little teeny tank was totally cramping her style. Also, I got the rest of my crap from the apartment in Allston… minus the futon frame that Pete said he wanted. If I can find someone to help me get it into the car tomorrow he can have it. Otherwise, it’s going in the dumpster, because I don’t feel like dealing with it ever again. the only bad thing is that I used the obi from my kimono and my flannel rainbow frog sheet to tie up the futon so I could move it. If I want those items back I’ll have to go back to the stupid apartment tomorrow. Oy. I suppose I need to keep my bathrobe closed and my bed sheeted. BUT, after tomorrow, I will NEVER HAVE TO MOVE ANYTHING OUT OF THAT APARTMENT AGAIN!!! YAYY!!!!! This 2-week process has been really annoying and stressful. I don’t often get stressed out, but this moving thing has made me kind of a head case. I need a couple of days to not do anything. I will be glad when it’s the weekend!
